raymond1234 Posted August 3, 2019 CID Share Posted August 3, 2019 how does a download time of 40 seconds for 200mb equate to a speed of 44mbps. surely that rate is 200/40=5mbps, or is my arithmetic that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted August 3, 2019 CID Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hi Raymond1234, welcome to TestMy.net! Your math is correct... for calculating MB/s (megabytes per second) but when you're talking about Mbps (megabits per second) you need to times it by 8 because there are 8 bits per byte. This is very confusing for most people. Here's some information that may help https://testmy.net/understand-bandwidth Happy Testing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted August 3, 2019 CID Share Posted August 3, 2019 You can mouse over any displayed speed to have it converted into MB/s. Soon there will later be an advanced option to have your account display in MB/s by default if you'd like. Pgoodwin1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
